The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of different bagging materials on the physical parameters of fruits from various guava cultivars viz. Hisar Safeda, Hisar Surkha,Allahabad Safeda and Shweta. The fruits were bagged immediately after fruit set with various coloured paper, polythene and cloth bags., the fruits bagged with blue polythene exhibited the maximum fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width and pulp weight as compared to control in fruits of Shweta. However, maximum specific gravity was observed in fruits of Hisar Safeda and Hisar Surkha as compared to the minimum in Shweta fruits. Hence, the fruits bagged with blue polythene, cotton cloth and green polythene were found promising in enhancing the physical parameters of various guava cultivars taken in the study.
